course that is not how we usually think of anger Most people think of anger as an emotion we must keep under control Children are sometimes sent to their rooms or punished for expressing anger in an excessive 过渡的 way Parents tell a child to get control of himself when the child shows anger We may be angry with friends or at work but we know it is usually inappropriate to show it We have to

uneasy No crime whatsoever comments Mahoney today I just don t buy it Nor should he in 1999 the U S Department of education had reports of nearly 400 000 serious crimes on or around our campuses
